The Future of Adoption

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhaur wrote, “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” For some mothers, Arthur Schopenhaur's words can also pertain to the adoption indyustry.

As more and more natural mothers and adopted people speak out about their experiences we can expect a rapid shift into the last group -- the opposition. Right now, the future of adoption is an uncertain thing. Growing in popularity and backed by wealthy agencies and individuals, people who have yet to see the industry’s dark side in their own lives are unlikely to question adoption practices at all. While adoption might be the best case scenario in some situatins, it's important that mothers and supporters of mothers educate and understand all aspects of the adoption industry before jumping in head first.
